The electronic theodolites and total stations in the TPSSystem 1000 are equipped with programs forprocessing field data and control-point coordinates. Thesystems are therefore highly functional and classicalsurvey tasks are simplified appreciably.

When delivered, the instruments are already equippedfor the following standard applications:

- Orientation and height transfer- Resection- Tie distance- Stakeout- Free-station survey (Licence code required)

In addition, the following applications are delivered ondiskette:

- Reference line / building alignment- Remote height- Hidden points- Computation of area- Sets of angles- Traverse- Local resection- Roadline- File Editor- Road Plus- COGO- Monitoring

This list is extended continuously. Find actualinformation in file README.TXT on diskette.

The additional application programs can be loaded intothe instrument, but can only be run as a demonstrationversion in which certain functions are disabled. Fullfunctionality can be obtained with a licence code,available from your Leica agency, where you can alsoobtain information about the newest programs availablein the ongoing applications-software development

General notes

Settings To avoid temporarily-stored information being lostwhen the TPS1000 automatically switches off after longperiods of disuse, you should set the "sleep mode"instead of the automatic switchoff. For moreinformation, please refer to section "Fixed keys"("Power off, Sleep") of "System" - user manual.

Each application takes over the settings (units,recording format, display format etc.) allocated to theappropriate user.

Specifications within this manual always apply to thefollowing units:

Units of length:- in m (meters)- in addition, within brackets in ft (feet)

Units of angle:- in ° ' "- in addition, within brackets in gon

Units of temperature:- in °C- in addition, within brackets in °F

Units in this manual

Preparation All program sequences are based on a unified structure.The clearly-designed display with the function keysmakes learning easy. Each program has a configurationdialog. In this dialog, the user can match program-specific parameters to changes in requirements andsequences. The various possibilities are described in theinstructions for the individual programs.


EL

GNData exchange If the settings in an application are altered, these

changed values will be taken over in the otherapplications also and in „Measure and record“. Thesettings affected are the station coordinates and thecircle orientation, along with parameters such as thereflector constant, reflector height, and data for distancereduction. This data can be altered in every application.

The measurement data is stored in the file selected.

If required, these user settings must be defined inadvance. For more information, please refer to section"User configuration" of "System" - user manual.

This manual describes the "Orientation and HeightTransfer" program of the TPS SYSTEM 1000theodolite series.

The instrument must be set up on a known point. Theprogram "ORIENTATION" calculates an angularcorrection for the instruments horizontal circle, so that0.0000 of the horizontal circle corresponds with gridnorth (Orientation correction), using reference pointswith known Easting and Northing.

For simultaneous determination of the station elevation,height of instrument and height of reflector mustalready have been input and the elevation of the targetpoints must be known.

The program handles a maximum of 10 points.

Resection

Introduction This manual describes the "Resection" program of theTPS SYSTEM 1000 theodolite series.

The program can be used to deduce the three-dimensio-nal coordinates for the instrument station and theorientation of the horizontal circle from measurementsto 2 target points with know Easting and Northing. Tocompute the position coordinates, at least the distancesand the directions for both points are necessary.

For simultaneous determination of the station elevation,height of instrument and height of reflector mustalready have been input and the elevation of the targetpoints must be known.

The program allows measurement in single or dual-facemode.

Stakeout with auxiliarypoints

The stakeout method computes values for points whichcannot be sighted directly.Measure to the auxiliary point Pt1. The distance "Dist1" and angle "Hz angle 1" to the stakeout point arecomputed. Likewise proceed for auxiliary point Pt2.The stakeout point can be set out using the 2 calculateddistances and/or angles from auxiliary points Pt1 andPt2.The program automatically updates both distance andangle values whenever a new point is measured. Theprevious point Pt2 becomes Pt1 and the new point Ptbecomes Pt2.

Remote Height

Introduction This manual describes the "Remote Height" program ofthe TPS System 1000 theodolite series. The distanceand the angle between two points is calculated by theprogram.

The elevation of a remote height point is calculatedfrom the zenith angle to the target and from themeasured distance to a reflector situated verticallybelow or above that target.To ensure correct results, the target and the reflectormust be lined up vertically. In practice it is not generallypossible to maintain an exactly-vertical line, and so youmust decide what lateral deviation can be tolerated. Thehorizontal distance to the inaccessible target musthowever coincide with the horizontal distance to thereflector.When the instrument is aligned and the stationcoordinates have been set, the position coordinates ofthe remote height can be calculated and stored in thedata file.

Hidden Point

Introduction This manual describes the "HIDDEN POINT" programof the TPS SYSTEM 1000 instruments.

The program allows measurements to a point that is notdirectly visible using a special hidden-point rod. Thedata for the hidden point are calculated frommeasurements to the prisms mounted on the pole with aknown spacing and a known length of pole. The polestill may be kept slope."Measurements" are calculated as if the hidden pointwas observed directly. These "calculatedmeasurements" can also be recorded.

The hidden-point rod can have either two or threereflectors. The rod you are using is defined in the"CONFIGURATION" of the program. Here, you enterthe length of the rod, spacing between reflectors, andthe prism constant. Refer to Figure on page 112, whichillustrates a hidden-point rod with three reflectors.

If the hidden-point rod you are using has threereflectors, the program calculates coordinates for thehidden point from three combinations:

Reflector 1 + Reflector 2Reflector 3 + Reflector 2Reflector 1 + Reflector 3

In the case of motorized theodolites, you can configurethe program in such a way, that it points the telescope atthe third reflector automatically after the first tworeflectors have been measured.

Theaverage direction of all sets, the standard deviation forone observed direction and the standard deviation forthe average of all directions is computed for each target.To calculate a result, a minimum of two full sets mustbe observed. Measurements in two faces must exist foreach target .Once the program has "learned" the targets and theirrespective sequence during the first set in face I, theobserver is guided throughout the following measuringsequence.A maximum of 250 measurements per instrumentstation (in 2 faces) can be handled in one calculation.

Using data about direction and distance, the programcontinuously computes the coordinates of the station (inthe example shown above, the instrument "moves" fromone station to the next, previously measured point) andaligns the horizontal circle.For a point the coordinates of which are known, thedeviation from the coordinates determined bymeasurement can be computed and displayed.There is no adjustment of these differences incoordinates and direction. Subsequently, however, themeasurements stored on the PCMCIA can be processedwith the assistance of an appropriate software program.Individual stations can be calculated as "sideshots"(SP). The coordinates and directions of these points arealso determined in the course of this program.If the program is terminated (e.g. to record a detailpoint), the values remain stored. The measurementprocedure can be resumed after calling up the programagain.

Two points are measured from any instrument station.The first point measured forms the centre of a localcoordinate system (N=0; E=0; H=0). The second pointmeasured determines the direction of the positive N -axis.The distance between the two points must be at least 50mmThe program can be used to deduce the three-dimensio-nal local coordinates for the instrument station and theorientation of the horizontal circle from measurementsto 2 target points. To compute the position coordinates,at least 4 elements (2 distances and 2 directions) arenecessary.

For simultaneous determination of the local stationelevation, height of instrumentand height of reflectormust already have been input.

The program allows measurement in single or dual-facemode.

The program is suitable for setting out points which aredetermined by chainage and centre-line offset along acalculated alignment. If V-alignments and cross-sections are defined for the alignment, the points can becalculated and set out spatially ("ROADSTAKEOUT").Conversely, if a point in the vicinity of the alignmenthas been determined by measurement, the chainage andcentre-line offset can be determined ("X-SECTIONCHECK").This version of "ROAD LINE" is only valid for a GSIconfiguration.

The program reads the geometrical elements of analignment from files expressed in GSI format. The datafor the alignment are grouped in accordance with thethree components of an alignment. The file names mustcomply with certain rules:

1. Hz-alignmentFile name:ALN?????.GSI

2. V-alignmentFile name:PRF?????.GSI

3. Cross sectionFile name:CRS?????.GSI

You can insert a permitted character for a DOS filename in place of a ? .

1. Permitted elements in the Hz-alignment

• Straight defined by chainage andcoordinates of tarting point

• Curve defined by chainage andcoordinates of starting pointRadius of arc (- = left-hand curve+ = right-hand curve)

• Spiral defined bychainage and coordinates ofstarting pointparameter A1 of spiral (negativeparameter = spiral into left-handcurve)

• End of project (EOP) chainage and coordinates ofend-point

Program concept The "ALIGNMENT CALCULATION " program onlypermits measurements in one face.

Before the program is started, the following proceduresare carried out:

1. Setting user profile and name of the data file.

2. Determining the instrument station and theorientation

"ROAD STAKEOUT" requires the following input:

1. Chainage for the point to be set out

2. Offset and height displacement of the point to be setout, or zero point of cross section relative to axis(optional)

3. Selection of a point on the cross section (optional)

On the basis of this input, the coordinates of the point tobe set out are determined and are transferred to theprogram "SETTING OUT" for post-processing.

The "X-SECTION CHECK" requires the followinginput:

1. Measurement to ground point

The parameters calculated and displayed arerespectively the chainage, the offset, and the heightdifference of the point measured with respect to thecentre-line.

Selection of files The files with the definitions for the Hz-alignment, theV-alignment and the cross sections are selected. Thenames of the files must be in accordance with theguidelines laid down in section "Introduction".The Hz-alignment must always be selected. The choiceof a V-alignment and of transverse sections is optional.If no V-alignment is selected, points can only be setout or inspected in two dimensions. Without V-alignments, no transverse sections can be selected.

Checking files The files selected are inspected for formal input errorsand for geometrical deviations.

The job identification for the three input files isinspected, as are possible errors in the data format e.g.missing or incorrect word index (WI). Errors areindicated by appropriate messages. The inspection canbe continued or interrupted. If serious formal errorsare found, the inspection is aborted.

Geometrical deviations include the tangent directionsof adjacent elements and the chord lengths of elements.Deviations which exceed the permitted tolerance aredisplayed. The inspection of the files can be continuedor interrupted.

After inspection, the program returns to Dialog 2. Theinput values can be corrected, either on a PC using theprogram "ROADDATA.EXE" or on the TPS1000 usingthe programm "FILE EDITOR".

Hz-alignment The definition of the road elements is based on the mainpoints (= starting and finishing points of thegeometrical element) and on the element parameters.Refer to the example in the next diagram.

The alignment starts at main point no. 1 and finishes atmain point no. 4.Here, the geometrical elements are:Straight - curve - straight.The curve radius is R.

The starting point of a geometrical element is also thefinishing point of the preceding adjacent element.

Also:

• The header is always at the beginning of the file.

• The Hz-alignment file must always contain at leasttwo elements.

• The units and decimal places used in the WIs 11 and72 are in accordance with the definitions in WIs 81and 82.

• The chainage is produced from the sum of theelement lengths.

• A cross-sectional profile may be assigned more thanonce.

• Geometrical elements can be combined freely, forexample as:- Transition curve (straight - spiral - arc)- Vertex spiral ( straight - spiral into curve- spiral out of curve - straight)

Unusual applications are also possible:

- Breakpoint (straight - straight)- Right-angle (straight - straight, or straight - 90°

arc - straight)

• There is no limitation on the size of the Hz-alignmentfile. As a result, as many data blocks as required canbe entered if a file is created on the PC using theDOS program "ROADDATA.EXE". If a file iscreated/edited using the program "FILE EDITOR"on the TPS1000 there is a limitation of 200 datablocks.

Check your data for errors (typing errors, signs etc.)before you load it into the memory card.

The program supports the user during the setting-out bycontrolling the length of curves. It compares the lengthof the element from the chainage (WI 11) with thecalculated main-point values, thus enabling input errorsin the chainage or in the coordinates to be detected.However, the signs of arcs and of spirals are notchecked (see example below).

The Road - Data Entryprogram

The Leica "ROADDATA.EXE" for providingsetting-out data files

Once the alignment has been designed using road-design software, the resulting data consist of mainpoints, element parameters and cross sections. Thesedata must be brought into a structure which can beloaded into the memory card. There are two ways toproduct the three setting-out data files (Hz-alignmentfile, V-alignment file and transverse-profile file):

a) writing an individually-customised program toautomatically generate and convert the necessarydata

b) entering the data by hand into the Leica"ROADDATA.EXE" program. The program offers aconvenient way of entering the values by offeringsuitable menu controls. The program reformats thedata into the structure required.

Once the three setting-out data files are ready, all youneed to do is to transfer the data into the memory card,using a suitable transfer program.

Using the "ROADDATA.EXE" program

• Copy the program from the diskette to your harddisk, using the DOS command

COPY

and from there into e.g. disk drive C:\.

• Start the program with the command

C:\>roaddata

• Follow the menu directives. An integrated Helpfunction gives you support, particularly when you areusing the keyboard commands.

COGO

Introduction This manual describes the "COGO" program of theTPS SYSTEM 1000 theodolite series.The following provides a general overview of theindividual COGO functions.

The "Inverse" routine computes the direction anddistance between two points.

The "Traverse" routine computes a new coordinatepoint given a direction and distance from a known point(Polar plotting).

The "Intersections" routine computes:• Bearing-Bearing intersections,• Bearing-Distance intersections or• Distance-Distance intersections.

The function "Offsets" consists of the followingsubfunctions:• "Distance point straight line"

Calculates the difference in length/abscissa and thelateral deviation/ordinate with reference to a basisline emanating from a known point.

• "Orthogonal point calculation"A new point can be calculated which emanates froma basis line using the difference in length/abscissaand the lateral deviation/ordinate.

The "Point Arc" routine computes a radius point givenany three points.

The point coordinates can either:• be determined by measurement,• entered manually using a keyboard or• read from the memory card.

Data, both measured and read from the file, can bemixed. This means, however, that station coordinatesand orientation have to be correctly set.

Directions and distances can be entered manually,called up or freshly determined. The values can then beamended by means of multiplication, division, additionand subtraction.

The program "Stakeout" can be called up directly fromthe individual result dialog boxes (if available) in orderto set out the points immediately.The program "Stakeout" assumes that the instrument isset and oriented to a known point.

Road Plus

Introduction This manual describes the "ROADPLUS" program ofthe TPS SYSTEM 1000 theodolite series.

The program allows for the stakeout of roads using thetypical offset method of construction staking. Inaddition the program supports station equations, crosssection assignment by station, cross section definition,cross section interpolation, superelevation, wideningand slope staking/catch points.

Alignment Definition An alignment consists of the three basic componentswhich are horizontal alignment, vertical alignment andcross-section template. "ROADPLUS" reads theelements of each of these components from data filesthat are in GSI file format. In addition, a file can becreated for entering cross-section stations for specificlocations such as points needed for the staking ofsuperelevation points. If station equations are needed,"ROADPLUS" will read a file created for stationequations and apply the appropriate corrections.

Data FilesEach of the data files "ROADPLUS" reads contain thenecessary information specific to the component beingdefined. The files have unique identifiers and must be inthe GSI file format:

Horizontal Alignment File ALN?????.GSIVertical Alignment File PRF?????.GSITemplate File CRS?????.GSICross-section Assignment File STA?????.GSIStation Equation File EQN?????.GSI

The five identifiers ALN, PRF, CRS, STA and EQNidentify the type of file and must be used when creatingthe data files. The ? can be any valid DOS character.The file extension GSI defines the file as a GSI file andmust be used.

1. Permitted elements in the Hz-alignment

• Straight defined by chainage andcoordinates of starting point

• Curve defined by chainage andcoordinates of starting pointRadius of arc (- = left-hand curve;+ = right-hand curve)

• Spiral defined by chainage andcoordinates of starting pointparameter A1 of spiral (negativeparameter = spiral into left-handcurve)

Creating Data Files There are two methods that can be used to create thenecessary data files. If the program called "FILEEDITOR" is loaded into the theodolite, all necessarydata for a given component can be entered through thekeyboard. To enter data on the computer a DOS pro-gram called "ROADDATA.EXE" can be used. If youcreate the files using the "ROADDATA.EXE" program,the files must be copied to the PCMCIA card in adirectory called GSI.

The following table shows an overview of the max. filesizes:

Type of file Limitations

Horizontalalignment

No limitation for "RoadPlus";max. 200 blocks for "File Editor"

Verticalalignment

Cross section 200 data blocks(number of points in a cross sectionmax. 48)

Cross sectionassignment

Program Overview "ROADPLUS" allows measurements in one telescopeposition only. A typical "ROADPLUS" session includesthe following steps:

1. Enter setup information for the instrument and orient.2. Start the ROADPLUS program and configure.3. Select the alignment files4. Select a station5. Pick a point on the cross-section to stakeout, enter an

Before selecting the alignment files to use, you shouldenter the configuration parameters for the job.

6. Stake the point and record the data.7. Choose another point on the cross-section and stake

it out.8. When all selected points on the cross section have

been staked, enter a new station and repeat steps 5-7.

In the sections that follow, the operation of the programwill be covered in more detail. The concepts of theprogram will be covered to assist you in becomingproficient with the "ROADPLUS" program for normaleveryday operation such as staking a project with the

The cross section assignment file contains the followingelements:

• Cross Section name• Starting Chainage

A cross section assigned in this manner will remain ineffect until another cross section is defined. When thefile is created you designate the name of the template touse and the chainage to begin using the template. Thenext template name entered also contains a startingchainage. A third template can be assigned to begin atanother chainage and so forth.

For example, the file might contain the followinginformation:

XSEC1, 0XSEC2, 100XSEC3, 300XSEC1, 550

The program would interpret this to use the templateXSEC1 beginning at chainage 0 and end at chainage1+00, use XSEC2 beginning at chainage 1+00 and endat chainage 3+00, use XSEC3 from chainage 3+00 andtransition back to XSEC1 ending at chainage 5+50.

Station Equation File Station equations are used to adjust the alignmentstationing. The most common reason for doing so is theinsertion or removal of curves. Inserting or removing acurve would require re-calculating the stationing of anentire alignment. Using station equations eliminatesthis.

File Checking During the file checking process, each file is inspectedfor possible errors in the data format such as missing orincorrect word index. If errors are found, an errormessage is displayed indicating the type of error.During the inspection process, if any errors are foundthat would cause erroneous data to be computed anddisplayed, the file checking routine will be aborted. Ifthis occurs, the file(s) containing the problem must befixed before continuing. In addition to checking for fileerrors, geometrical components are checked. Thisincludes tangent directions of adjacent elements andchord lengths of elements. Any deviations which exceedpermitted tolerances are displayed such as in thefollowing example.

Stakeout Using Horizon-tal Offset

The most common method for staking out roads,pavement, curb & gutter etc. is to use a horizontal offsetfrom the actual point. For instance, a four foot offsetfrom finished back of curb (BC) is commonly used toprovide cut/fill stakes for a street and curb lines.

Preparing for theexample

In this section of the manual, a sample project will beused to demonstrate the procedures to follow forstaking a portion of the job. The project consists of a3 m wide paved bicycle path with a curve. The projectwill be staked on a 0.6 m offset from the edge ofpavement. The POB and PC will be staked for bothsides.

The example project for the TPS System"ROADPLUS" program consists of a simple horizontaland vertical alignment accompanied by a simpletemplate. The project is designed to illustrate theapplication of the "ROADPLUS" System. It is notintended to provide a demonstration of road designprocedures.

Our bike path is about 30 m in length as illustrated here.The riding surface is 3 m wide, lying 1.5 m on each sideof the centerline. From the edge of the driving surface,fill slopes extend downward at a slope of 2:1.

The vertical alignment (or profile) for the project is asimple 2% uphill slope. An assumed elevation of 30.50is placed on the original ground at the Setup Point, andthe road starts at elevation 31.1. This allows you topractice with all of the components of the"ROADPLUS" program. For the field work, werecommend a flat, open area about 25 m on a side.

The following pages contain illustrations and listings ofall the data needed to run the example.

There are 3 easy steps to the example:

1. Use the "ROADDATA.EXE" program on yourPC to enter the design information for the Hori-zontal Alignment, Vertical Alignment, andTemplates.A special naming convention identifies the type offile that each alignment and template are stored in.The first three letters in the file name tell"ROADPLUS" what is in the file and how to view it.The GSI extension is also required.

Horizontal Alignment: ALN?????.GSIVertical Alignment: PRF?????.GSITemplates: CRS?????.GSI

In "ROADDATA.EXE", enter the following exampleproject data. Let’s call the project "EXAMPLE" andconfigure the units to m, 3 decimal places. Let’s namethe files "ALN_EX1.GSI", "PRF_EX1.GSI", and"CRS_EX1.GSI".

Set the "∆CL Offset" from centerline value to positive1.500 m. The offset value should be positive 0.600 m,but should not require a change because that was thelast offset value used for the previous right side point.

Measure to the current position of the prism pole.The value for "∆XS Hgt Diff" needs to be zero or closeto it. When this value is zero the catch point has beendetermined. However, the value for "∆Chainage" is alsoimportant. This value shows where the actual point is inrelation to the chainage of the cross section being used.

In the sample display shown, the value for "∆XS HgtDiff" is 1.089 m. The value is positive which means thecatch point is higher than where the measurement wastaken. Therefore the rodperson would look for a spotthat is approximately 1 m higher than the current point.

Now look at the value for "∆Chainage". This indicateswhere the prism pole is in relation to the chainage. Inthis example, the rodperson would move approximately3 m to his/her right looking towards the instrument. Ifthe value is negative the pole would be moved to theleft.

In addition, the horizontal distance from centerline isdisplayed which is 9.867 m for this example.

After moving to a new location, measure a distance tothe prism and view the results. When the "∆XS HgtDiff" and "∆Station" are at or near zero the catch pointhas been located both vertically and horizontally for thechosen chainage.

Record the staked out position.The "SLOPE STAKING" display returns and anothercatch point can be staked.

File Editor

Introduction The manual describes the program "FILE EDITOR(GSI)" of the LEICA TPS SYSTEM 1000 theodoliteseries. This version of the file editor is only valid for aGSI configuration.This program is used to open/to view and edit existingproject files for the program "RoadPlus" or for creationof new project files.In order to create new project files, the file names mustcomply with certain rules.

1. Horizontal Alignment FileFile Name: ALN?????.GSI

2. Vertical Alignment FileFile Name: PRF?????.GSI

3. Template FileFile Name: CRS?????.GSI

4. Station Equation FileFile Name: EQN?????.GSI

5. Cross-section Assignment FileFile Name: STA?????.GSI

You can insert a permitted character for a DOS filename in place of a ?.

Type of file Limitations

Horizontal alignment 200 data blocks

Vertical alignment 200 data blocks

Cross section 200 data blocks(number of points in a crosssection max. 48)

Editing files It is possible to insert also a new data set:

• With function "Coordinate", point coordinates,station coordinates or a code block can be inserted.

• With function "Horizontal Alignment " a tangent, acircular curve, a Spiral in, a Spiral out, a Curve in ora Curve out can be inserted.For the circular curve radius the following sign ruleapplies:With a right-hand curve (centre of circle right ofalignment) the sign is positive.With a left-hand curve (centre of circle left ofalignment) the sign is negative.

• With function "Vertical Alignment " a tangent, acircular curve or a parabola can be inserted.For the circular curve radius and/or the parabolaparameter the following sign rule applies:

If the centre of circle is above the alignment (dip) thesign is positive.If the centre of circle is below the alignment (crest)the sign is negative.

• With function "Template" an offset or a heightdifference relative to axis can be inserted.For the offset and/or the height difference thefollowing sign rule applies:If the point is left of alignment the offset is negative.If the point is right of alignment the offset is positive.If the point is above the alignment the heightdifference is positive.If the point is below the alignment the heightdifference is negative.

• With function "Station Equation" a number for thestation equation, a station ahead or a station back canbe inserted.

• With function "Cross-section Assignment" the nameof the template and the start station for this templatecan be inserted.

The manual describes the "Monitoring" program of theLeica TPS SYSTEM 1000 theodolite series.The program allows for automatic measurementrepetition.

Monitoring

Introduction

The instrument must be firmly mounted on a tripod orpillar.

Requirements to run this program:• the licence number• a PCMCIA card which is inserted into the instrument

By means of a timer function, the program can triggerthe automatic measurement, at predetermined intervals,of points which have already been measured once andlearned by the instrument and which are stored on thePCMCIA card.

Max. 50 measuring points and as many measurementrepetitions as desired, at any time intervals.

The measurements can be:• repeated as often as is necessary,• at any time• performed in both faces.

The point number, the horizontal and vertical anglesand the slope distance for the individual measurementsare stored on the memory card.

The points to be measured must be permanentlyequipped with Leica prisms.The measurements are limited only by the storagecapacity of the PCMCIA memory card.
